The victim suffered a broken eye socket and a number of cuts to his face and was later taken to hospital.

The four women were arrested following the horrific brawl at the tube station.

A spokesman for British Transport Police told the Sun Online: “The women – a 26-year-old from Romford, a 22-year-old from Dagenham and two other 22-year-olds of no fixed address – were arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm, violent disorder and affray.

“During their arrest, two police officers were also assaulted and one of the 22-year-olds was further arrested on suspicion of assaulting them.

“All four have since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.”
